Testimonials

‘We wanted to pass along a huge thank you to our realtor, Deb Trand, who helped us with our recent town-home purchase at Fernie Alpine Resort. Her knowledge, professionalism, friendly manner and availability were exceptional. She helped us to navigate through a difficult negotiation then continued to guide us through all the red tape to possession day. We have no hesitation in highly recommending her to our family and friends.’

“Thank you Deb for selling my house so quickly. You really made the process of selling seem easy and low stress. Your knowledge of the market is excellent and the professional photos and staging that you had done for my house really made a all the difference. “

Deb recently helped us to sell 2 quarter share units and purchase the perfect condo for our family. Her experience and knowledge of the market were impressive and gave us total confidence throughout the process. And communication was amazing, whether by phone, email or text (and even while she was on vacation). We were never left wondering or waiting on a response. She truly made this a stress free experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends or family.

Myron and I were very fortunate to have Deb Trand as our realtor. We bought the condo through her and she sold it for us 19 years later. Deb did an amazing job presenting the condo and had multiple offers just days after listing. Deb was very patient and accommodating. We would definitely go with Deb Trand again if we were to buy again in the area. Thank you Deb!

‘Our family have been regular visitors to Fernie for almost 15 years. We met Deb Trand many years ago and were always impressed with her knowledge of Fernie, including the Fernie real estate market, her enthusiasm and excellent overall customer service. With Deb joining Century 21, we were able to engage Deb recently to help us sell our condo on the ski hill at Fernie (we recently upgraded to a bigger unit). Although Deb presented us with a comprehensive marketing plan to sell our unit, we had confidence in her based more on her reputation and integrity, and the fact that we had known her for so many years. In a relatively short time frame, we received offers for our unit with a resulting sale. We would not hesitate to recommend Deb to anyone looking for real estate in and around the Fernie area.”

‘Thanks Eric and Sue! This was a message I received today from buyers at Fernie Alpine Resort who wanted to let other know about their buying experience: ‘We had the pleasure of working with Deb when purchasing our second on-hill property in Fernie. Her expertise, professionalism and integrity were refreshing. She was exceptionally quick to reply to our questions and requests that were in some cases above and beyond what one would generally expect from a Realtor. She has the thorough knowledge of ski-hill properties that comes from years of experience. Deb was recommended to us by friends and we have recommended her to others without hesitation. Thanks Deb’

‘Dealing with Deb was a real pleasure. Deb listened to our requirements, was very responsive to our many questions and helped guide us through the entire process. She was professional in her approach and very knowledgeable about the properties on the ski hill and the area in general. I would certainly recommend Deb to anyone that is looking for a place in the area.’

Deb was fantastic to work with selling our quarter share property. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Her advice throughout the transaction was clear and accurate. We would highly recommend her for any real estate transactions in Fernie and area.

‘We owned a quarter share in Fernie at Juniper Lodge for approximately 3 years before deciding that we had to sell. We had bought our place from Deb Trand so naturally thought we should go back to her to assist us in selling our property. Deb was incredibly professional and communicated with us every step of the way knowing the market was slowing down and we were not sure how long it would take to sell. Deb featured our property on websites, conducted open houses and even went international when advertising our property! Having done all of that landed us a sale for our target asking price within only 9 months! We would not hesitate to refer Deb and her services as she is so familiar with Fernie and the real estate market, and willing to think outside the box. Thank you Deb for your great service!’

‘This is the second time I’ve used Deb Trand as my realtor in Fernie. Deb is extremely knowledgeable and professional, adding to this her friendly demeanor and confidence, made my sometimes stressful situation so much easier to sail through. Most importantly, at the end of the day and for both occasions, I was left feeling extremely grateful I chose Deb as my realtor – I’m sure you will as well.’  

Deb was fantastic to work with.  She made purchasing our vacation property stress free.  Deb is highly knowledgeable of the Fernie real estate market. We would highly recommend her to others.

Deb made the process of selling our Fernie property a breeze. The superb listing presentation of our condo, along with the internet and social media marketing, brought us plenty of traffic in a difficult market.  Deb has an extensive network in the Fernie area and she produced two buyers which enabled us to reduce the commission and negotiate an excellent price.  We couldn’t have asked for more!

“Deb helped us navigate the Fernie – Cranbrook region and ultimately find a fantastic property! Not being from the area, we appreciated her perspective, flexibility, and persistence when it came to exploring and choosing a place that was just right for us.   Thanks Deb!’

“Deb’s experience and local knowledge was critical in guiding the sale of our vacation property in Fernie. We appreciate her engagement and willingness to help where she could to ensure a smooth transaction. We highly recommend Deb for your real estate needs.’

‘I highly recommend Deb Trand to help you find your ideal home in Fernie. It isn’t an easy task and Deb was always available to show us home after home until we found the one for us. She provided professional advice and guided us through the negotiation process with ease.’

Testimonial Tuesday! It’s been a busy summer but I make client service my top priority!
‘Deb was an absolute pleasure to deal with on our recent real estate purchase. We were not in the same city we were buying in, and also right in the middle of the COVID pandemic and Deb did everything she could to make the experience positive and safe for our family. We felt like she was extremely personable and extremely knowledgeable on the valley. She also made it extremely easy to work with her remotely with excellent contacts for inspections, and also legal services. We would absolutely recommend Deb to anyone looking for a high value and trustworthy agent.’

‘What an easy and seamless experience it was buying a property with assistance from Deb. As a foreign purchaser we were not sure of the procedure to follow, but Deb made everything seamless, all documents and compliance was completed ahead of time and without fuss.

Every few days we would receive a reminder of what was needing to happen and by what date. So satisfying to find someone so friendly and accommodating.

Upon settlement of our purchase Deb even gave us a gift, which we were so surprised about!

We would highly recommend Deb to anyone wanting to buy or sell their property in Fernie.

Such a great experience! 10/10 from us!

Well done Deb Trand!’  Jim and Robyn Kolesnyk

‘Deb was fantastic to work with buying our property. She was responsive, very knowledgeable and professional. We were buying from out of province and not able to meet in person, but she was able to set up a virtual walk through for us.’

We have had the pleasure of working with Deb on two occasions. One transaction was the sale of an undeveloped lot, and the second transaction was the recent purchase of a single-family home. Deb has been a joy to work with; she is the consummate professional. Communication was responsive and clear. Her advice regarding pricing and negotiations in both instances was spot on. Her attention to detail and her thoroughness was greatly appreciated. We were thrilled with both the process and the outcome of both transactions.

We wholeheartedly recommend Deb’s services to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property in Fernie!

‘After working with other realtors and not having success, it was a pleasure to work with Deb.  She has a great knowledge of the market in Fernie and provided quick and excellent advise and results.  We highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.’

“This was our first real estate purchase outside of our home province, Deb’s knowledge of the local market was foundational in our buying decisions. Deb was very flexible and very patient with our schedules during the viewing process. After the sale, she recommended great local services and helped us with all of the activities that needed to be managed at the new location such as the home inspection. Overall a very positive experience!”

We have known Deb for several years and found her to be honest, helpful, and very professional to work with while she was in the property management business….a tough, competitive, business! When we decided to sell our condo in Fernie, we told her we would try to sell it ourselves but would list it with her if that did not work. She was very helpful and forthcoming with advice during our attempt to self-sell. When that became too complicated, we listed it with her. She provided the help and guidance we needed and worked with us to set a price with which we were comfortable. The timing was awkward for us (and for her); since we had to return to the states as soon as we listed it. She sold it in a matter of a few days; and kept us apprised after each showing; and candidly provided feedback to help us understand the evolving market. The sales process was even more complex across an international border and we insisted on understanding all aspects of the process. She was always available to answer our questions and very patient in helping us to understand. Thoroughly professional….and extremely knowledgeable of the market in that area!

‘Deb was excellent at helping us find a vacation property in Fernie. She communicated rapidly and helped us close in a short time period with minimal hassle. Would highly recommend!’
